NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

Great analogy. Sadly I'm married so both games are gorgeous but neither put out....

Besides waiting for the patch and what's in it (aside from what they've announced), I'm curious to know what will be changed with a tuning pack, if they release one. I haven't seen squat on any tuning pack notes.

I doubt we're going to see a tuner pack until the patch drops. Once that does, EA will have a better idea as to what will need tuning.

LOL, that part of what you said I put in bold made me crack up.

I know. Everything right now needs tuning. However, if they put out a tuner pack right now, once the patch drops, it could mess up things that were addressed in the tuner update, so EA would have to release another tuner pack immediately after the patch.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

I agree & i wouldn't think it would make much sense to release it before the patch came out. I'm just wondering if anyone has seen what type of things they might be thinking about for it.

For example, things like the physic DBs and super LB seem like things that would be addressed in a tuner pack more so than a patch. Freezing issues, custom schedules, roster glitches, etc would be the patch. At this point I think most of us would be ok if a developer would just pop up and say "hi, we're still employeed at EA and are working on NCAA 12'.

All I know is I have a free day this Saturday coming up; no kids in the house, the wife is going out for a girls day, & the LSU/Oregon & Boise/Georgia games are that night. It would be nice to have a patched game to waste my day away.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

Geez, I'm so bummed I wasted a verbatim for this game around release day, when I can't even play it because it freezes all the time(and is riddled with tons of other bugs) or to irritate many of you is just out right "broken"! I could have made Dues Ex instead, ugh!

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

My guess is that it comes out tomorrow. I can't see why they'd wait for Madden to be released. However, after what I experienced with NCAA 12 I'm not going to buy Madden right away until I hear if it's playable or not. So I might not have anything to play for a while if they don't get this done soon.

At least Madden gets to be played via the season pass for some people. Maybe we'll hear about any problems with it before the game is released and can make the decision based on that.

I really wish EA would update us on the progress of the patch, though.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

I haven't touched NCAA 12 for almost a month now. Which is funny, because I've played some of NCAA's worst versions all year around, yet I can't get myself to play this one (which I think minus the huge bugs is a top 3 for the series). Hopefully a patch comes soon, because as a gamer who plays just about everything, I'm always looking for a few games to trade in around this time of year.

I think EA does a good job for the most part, but everything about this years release has bugged me. Its kind of astonishing to me that we have had no updates on the patch from EA. None. I won't say I'll never buy another EA game again, because thats not true. What I will say is their two Football games are on thin ice for me, and when companies like SCEA are coming to boards and constantly asking what the fans want, and 2K produces an elite Basketball game every year, I don't think I'll feel to badly about not having a football game to play.

Hopefully this isn't seen as bashing EA or even a rant. Honestly, there is a good chance I pick up next years version. There is a good chance I don't sell back this years version. My hopes are that EA takes a look around, and finds they are not even close to producing a top tier sports game with either Madden or NCAA. If you want to ensure people buy your game, make it a good one.

I am just joining the forum, when does the patch expected to be release for NCAA 12?

No one really knows.

In other news, I guess we can all rejoice in a way. The early reviews for Madden 12 score it way worse that NCAA 12 so it looks like even before the patch NCAA may be the better game this year.

August 28 2011... And there is still no patch.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

Just take a moment. And go back to a time (PS1, PS2/XBOX) when we would get our sports games, whether that was Madden, NCAA, Triple Play, NHL, 2K football and basketball.....and we found plenty of bug's, glitches and imperfections.

What did we all do then? We kept playing, and getting the most out of the game. Came up with house rules if it was really annoying...we did whatever we had to to make sure we can overcome and enjoy the game.

Today we have patches.

People easily forget last gen, when we had no choice. We either accepted the imperfections (which every sports game enounter because...it is a video game and not real life) or a programming bug of some sort that comes up when you put enough hours into a game. We kept playing, and enjoying our franchises.

What the heck has happened here?

Yes the game has warts and bugs. But I am in year 3....with named rosters and having an amazing time. And I know there are hundreds of thousands of NCAA 12 players out there that are too.

OS has become a tiny island in a vast ocean that "so called" hard core sports gamers come and gather to wallow in their frustrations that they can't get a realistic game experience or this is broken or that is not working right and placebo effect this.....oh my goodness.

And it is on every sub forum here. Even for the so-called greatest sports games of our lives (The Show 2011, NBA 2K11).

Everyone has a right to express their opinions. But the core disfunction that has really plagued this great community is the intense, loud and immature posts that have spread like a disease and have infested and trolled what are meant to be informational threads as well as mature and intelligent discussions about our great sports games of today.

Think what you all want about EA, or 2K basketball or EA NHL or whatever.

We have never had so good with sports video games......ever. I don't care what the negative voices keep bitching about.

Everyone holds on to memories of yesteryear because yeah....there were some great games....back then! But now? They can't hold a candle to what we have.

My opinion.

The patch will get here. And I feel bad if your stuck in this misery of not being able to play this game. I just can't understand that line of thinking. The game is extremely playable. I don't get it.

Guess I am either too old to care or maybe I am blissfully ignorant.

It's a video game.....nothing more...nothing less. Life is short.


Play hard.

Freaking best post I've read since becoming a member here. FREAKING BRILLIANT!!!

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

I understand everyone wants the patch now, and I udnerstand the need to patch these games is upsetting.

But if we want this to be the last patch we need, and we want it to be tested as thoroughly as everyone says they want, then we can't rush it. You can't have it both ways. If I have to wait a little bit extra for a patch that corrects the issues and is tested properly, but I won't need another patch down the road I am ok with that.

Now if we wait all this time and the patch is a disaster that's another story.
